I seem to be very active today. I've been to Amsterdam many times and it is one of my favorite places. I've never had nor heard of pickpocket trouble there. I'm sure it exists but I've never heard of it. I use one of those cloth money pouches that zips and ties around your waist inside your pants. Never lost a penny. If you're going to be there on a Monday and like flea markets there's a great one for old local goods at Westermarket. Monday A.M. only... lots of fun.
